- Very close to the Spanish Steps
- Rooftop breakfast room with panoramic views
The Hotel Eliseo is in a superb location, very close to Via Veneto and the illustrious Spanish Steps. The public rooms and lobby bar of this traditional Roman hotel have a particularly welcoming style. A great feature is its rooftop breakfast room. From here you can enjoy panoramic views across Rome and the Villa Borghese gardens, and using this room’s vantage point, plan and map out your day’s sightseeing.
Being so near Porta Pinciana, which virtually borders onto the Villa Borghese park, wander through the grounds and admire the collection of virtuoso statues by Bernini. In addition, there is the Museo e Galleria Borghese where an excellent collection of artwork includes pieces by Bernini, Titian and Raphael.
The hotel has 56 rooms (official rating 4 star).

About the location
Rome – the Eternal City – is often said to be the world’s greatest open-air museum, boasting hundreds of historic sights around every corner and in every square. There’s so much to see and do that you’d need a month to take it all in, but a week or less is enough to give you a taste of Italy’s incredible capital.
With more than 3,000 years under its belt, Rome has long been one of the world’s leading centres of culture. There are masterpieces like the
Sistine Chapel, numerous wine-fuelled feasts to partake in, and a raft of iconic sights, including the world’s largest amphitheatre –
the Colosseum.
Best of all, the majority of Rome’s attractions are within walking distance of each other, so you’ll be able to soak up the Roman way of life as you walk to the
Pantheon or
Trevi Fountain. Maybe you’ll discover a hidden church with beautiful frescoes or a secret trattoria serving excellent wine from the
Lazio hills. (See our small-group
food tour.) That’s when the phrase ‘when in Rome’ really comes in handy...

Myself and a friend stayed here as part of our Air Canada Vacations trip to Italy. The room was not clean, the shower had lots of mold, no air conditioning, uncomfortable beds, wall to wall dirty carpeting. The location of the hotel also is not great, far from the city central.
I would caution anyone from staying here; after a day exploring Rome you would like to have a room that you could come back to relax in, but everything about this hotel was just very uncomfortable and unclean.
Cleanliness is key for us, and this hotel was by far the worst place we had ever stayed in.
We actually would have left the hotel for another had it not been part of our Air Canada Vacations booking, as we had no option and had to stay there since it was part of the travel package.

My daughter and I had a 4 day stay at this boutique hotel in early December and we loved it. The location is very good and our room which had view of the Villa Borghese was very quiet. Good restaurants close by in the side streets with a pianist playing dinner music. Lovely walk down Via Veneto to Piazza Barbarini then you discover all the other famous attractions very close by.

This hotel is very nice with nice, spacious rooms and from the breakfastroom there??s a stunning view. Unfortunately it??s situated by the Borghese park, which in my opinion is not very central from the old center and most good restaurants. When I came back to the hotel during the day the walk there included a steep road, which is not so good on any holiday in a big city, because one walks alot! The hotel is right in the middle of 2 busy streets, which means NO open windows if You want a good nights sleep.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had an issue with my room but was delt with within the day. They will help you book tickets and taxis. The view from the breakfast room is fabulous. The breakfast had a reasonable selection, I would have prefered a little more choice. The only poor thing was the coffee, always ask for a cappachino. Rooms were good only thing was getting the air conditioning to do anything. Great placement short walk to spanish steps.
